Realm of Power

On the northern border of Gangfei, at dusk, on a mound with falling snow, outside a solid camp with three rows of wood inside and outside, a group of light cavalry holding long flags and spears were coming from a distance. These light cavalry were coming from a distance. The cavalry wore light mail armor with thick cotton-padded jackets. They carried cavalry compound bows on their backs and two barrels on their backs. Although Man Yu looked a little bloated, in the large tracts of falling white snow, the people and horses were all white. He was moving very fast, rolling up the white smoke and dust in the distance. At first, they were just small black dots, but they got closer after ten minutes. At the gate of the camp, you can already see the white gas emitting from the horses as they run rapidly.

"Open the door, it's our people!" Someone shouted from the direction of the camp's gate tower. The two heavy gates were quickly opened from the inside. The light cavalry galloped in like an arrow from a string, and they rushed in more than 20 meters behind the camp gate. He reined in the war horse violently, and the horse's hoofs rubbed a deep mark on the stiff and frozen ground. The camp soldiers who had been prepared in advance, wearing thick and torn leather jackets, immediately went up and grabbed hold of them, still breathing white at the mouth, and raised their voices with high spirits. hoofed war horse,

"Be careful, this is an expensive purebred Antu horse. Even a hoof is worth more than your life. You must use the best horse feed and beans! If there is a problem with some adulteration, I want you to Head! A cavalry captain wearing light armor whipped his horse. He just jumped off a strong war horse on the shoulder of the servant of his own horse. The servant in ragged thick clothes grinned his teeth in pain from the whip, his body trembled, and he lowered his head and did not dare to disobey at all. ! The cavalry captain then turned around and ran quickly to the big tent in the middle of the camp.

There were two royal knights in heavy armor at the entrance to the tent. They obviously knew him. Their eyes just glanced at the cavalry captain who was covered in heavy snowflakes, and they involuntarily spread out to both sides, allowing such a cavalry captain to enter directly. He entered the big tent. Inside the big tent, there was a man wearing a long robe. The silver-white soft armor was exposed on the arm. The young man with a strong figure was wiping a short spear in his hand. The short spear was only as long as his arm. The front end was made of fine iron. The front end was cold and frightening. Generally, it was only used by extremely fast assault lancer cavalry. Only then was he equipped. At the tent door, the cavalry captain who faced the wind and snow ran in and knelt down on one knee five meters in front of the middle-aged man. He said in a solemn voice, "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Ruila. Their encounter with the Falcon Army "

The young man with a fierce look brightened his eyes, placed the short spear in his hand heavily on the table, and asked in a solemn voice, "How many troops are there in the Falcon Empire?"

"There are about a thousand riders, and they also launched a main attack on the Ruila Army, causing more than a hundred casualties to the Ruila Army. The Ruila Army has stopped advancing and launched defense on the spot. According to Ruila's analysis, this should be a hunter. The forward scout of the Eagle Empire, according to the horse power of the cavalry Calculate. The main force of the Falcon Emperor should have entered a hundred miles ahead! Rilla said that the direction of the Thousand Cavalry forwards is towards us. I hope that our Eagle Legion can intercept it in time to ensure that the coalition forces are not deployed in this battle. Exposed in advance with Falcon Empire!"

"In front of my descendants of Angola, the Rila people have always been cowards! It was just an encounter with the forward cavalry of the Falcon Empire. It was not a main battle! There were actually 50,000 troops and only 1,000 people were so frightened that they stopped moving!"

The young man's eyes were cold, his mouth curled up with disdain, and he waved to the cavalry captain and ordered, "Rilla people have never been good at cavalry, let alone cavalry tactics. It was only after that Flaco appeared that they finally had some knowledge of cavalry. , when it comes to real cavalry combat, it is far worse than us descendants of Angola. This Falcon Army forward explores hundreds of miles along the way. , against the wind and snow, even if they are truly elite, the people are tough, and the horses can't stand it. It should be like this if the opponent immediately evacuates at the slightest contact. The Rila people are right in this regard. This time the coalition forces use all their national strength to achieve the goal. To save the situation, the Ruila people volunteered to serve as bait. If they are allowed to go deeper, the layout of our coalition army will be completely exposed, which will be very troublesome!"

"In response to the request of the Ruila people, immediately mobilize all our cavalry to search for the forward of the Falcon Army within a fifty-mile radius! If found, we must drive it away or annihilate it!" The young man's eyes were sharp and intimidating, and the cavalry captain took the order. Then, this young man was the king of the Hungarian Kingdom. As the order was issued, the huge Hungarian camp suddenly heard horses neighing, and groups of fierce light cavalry galloped out of the camp regardless of the heavy snow.

In a flat canyon less than twenty miles away from the Hungarian camp, the snow is so thick that it is difficult to distinguish the opposite side from dozens of steps away. Although it was a little smaller in the afternoon, it was still impossible to stay. The plains and valleys were frozen in the cold, and the war horses were in danger of slipping when galloping on them. Captain Stanres, the commander of the second squadron directly under the Falcon Empire Guards, led the two More than a hundred Guards Cavalry just led their horses step by step through the canyon. Everyone was covered in white snow, their helmets were lifted on their backs, and they were just struggling to move forward. As the most elite forward scout among the main force of the Imperial Cavalry, Stanreth was the one who made a serious showdown in front of the Rilla people.

At that time, he received a report from his team that he had discovered a main army of Rila people marching. After secretly accompanying him for a long time, he decided to assemble ten of his teams to take an active attack stance. In fact, Rila made a mistake. Therefore, the initiative to launch an attack was not due to excessive force, but because the main force of the Falcon Empire's cavalry was still two hundred miles away.

Although the main force of the Imperial Cavalry defeated the coalition forces by more than 100,000, they suffered a lot of casualties. In addition, with the continuous advance and pursuit, the whole army was exhausted and waiting, so the march was not as fast as the coalition expected. After all, the fat man did not want to use a long-lasting force. The tired army faced the coalition forces massed on the border. The army rested and reorganized while moving forward. Advance, at this time, the role of forward scouts is reflected. In order to cut off the coalition's line of sight and not expose the true situation of the empire's main force, the elite scouts led by Stanres have been released from a distance of two hundred miles. If a coalition army is discovered, As expected, the Rila Army was stopped by gathering scattered troops to launch an attack.

At this time, the canyon where the Guards Cavalry he led was located in the area known as the Mesa Cross Road in northern Congo. Since it is called a cross road, it is because this area is an important thoroughfare connecting several regions. Stanley Si led two hundred guards to patrol here. In the middle of the night, he and the guards behind him were all exhausted. The war horse shook its head uneasily, and although it held the temporarily found grass and trees in its mouth, it still snorted heavily. The men and horses exhaled long streams of white air from their mouths and noses. The weather was so cold that everyone, whether human or horse, was frozen to the bone by the night wind.

In the dark night, the Guards Cavalry had taken off their iron armor and rested against a cave in the canyon, which was located high in the canyon. With an unobstructed view of the entire canyon road, Stanreth is of average height and has a simple face, which is not surprising. There was an arrow wound above the eye, making it look slightly ferocious. At this time, his eyes were staring at several fires on the road in the canyon below. They were artificially lit bonfires. Although they were far away, he could clearly see the figures of people and war horses. The number of people was about the same as himself, so he couldn't see the details clearly. But the quivers on everyone's waist were filled with white arrowheads and tail feathers. In this cold night, the firepower flashed and the cold air penetrated into the heart of the people.

"Captain, it seems they are cavalry from the coalition?" A guard came over and whispered, "The number is about the same as us, but judging from the appearance, it seems to be cavalry. How about we deal with it tonight?"

"Don't worry, the opponent is thinking the same as us. They know that this is the only way to pass, so they come to block us. Everyone has been tired for several days, and the opponent is full of physical strength. At this time, the battle is not good for our side, so let's use our physical strength first. Let’s get some rest! As long as the other party doesn’t know we’re here, everything else will be easy.”

Stanreth shook his head calmly. He only had more than two hundred people. The number of the opponent is still unclear, and other small teams are scattered according to the arrangement to attract the attention of the coalition forces and deter the advancement of the coalition forces group. They will move closer to this predetermined assembly point only the day after tomorrow and expose the assembly point in advance. Once the coalition forces react, the forward scouts who serve as a containment will be a disaster for this battle! Those who can be drafted as scouts in the Imperial Guard are the best of the best. They have experienced hundreds of battles and have more experience. They have experienced wind, frost, rain and snow, and have strong survival ability in the wild. They must also be good at cooperating with each other. The personal combat power is strong, and one must even be prepared to sacrifice at any time. With such a scout, even if we look at the more than 100,000 cavalry in the entire empire, except for the prairie people who are accustomed to hardships, they will never be able to use more than 2,000, and among them The thousand is right here,

Stanres's judgment was correct. The number of Hungarian cavalry in the canyon at that time was not two hundred, but two thousand. However, more than a thousand of them were not stationed in the canyon, but were ambushing outside the canyon. The tooth cavalry is worthy of being a descendant of the nomads on the grassland. Instinctively, if the Falcon Empire cavalry really If you are nearby, you will definitely pass through this canyon that you must pass through. The horseshoe prints in the canyon also prove this. The Falcon Empire cavalry is nearby, but after waiting all night, the Hungarian cavalry did not wait for the expected dark night raid. , when the sky became clear, the Hungarian cavalry outside the canyon finally couldn't help but show up,

Across a slope in the canyon, Stanres stretched out half his neck. From a distance, he could see a large group of cavalry, holding towering spears. The top of the spears fluttered a swallow-tailed flag, and the flag was embroidered with a golden wave. The morning mist was humid, and the flag flying in front of the cavalry seemed to have absorbed the moisture in the air, but it was stuck heavily to the flagpole. The sky is also gloomy. It seems that this heavy snow has not fallen enough, and a bigger heavy snow is brewing. , thousands of horses were riding on them, rolling through the canyon like the wind, heavy snow had just begun, and the roads were hard and icy.

When the horse's hooves stepped on it, it was just white liquid splashing everywhere. The horses of the Hungarian cavalry are quite majestic. They are hybrids of the grassland horses and the giant horses of Istanbul. As long as they are not required to maneuver violently on the battlefield or outflank and attack, the cavalry is not much faster than the infantry. The maintenance of war horses requires exquisite horse feed to maintain their strength, so more than two thousand cavalry were crowded in the canyon. Suddenly, war horses were released everywhere to look for grass. The cavalry boiled water to make rice and froze outside all night. All the cavalry were thinking about There is a mouthful of hot food,

"Damn, it's so dangerous!"

The faces of the hidden guards were as gloomy as the weather. Thinking of how close they were to being killed last night, they broke out in cold sweat. No one expected that there were such cunning cavalry in the coalition army who knew how to put bait. Fortunately, everyone was too tired and didn’t have the extra energy to bite, otherwise they wouldn’t have been bitten. Fishing with a pole, although the opponent is a cavalry archer, the victory is absolutely overwhelming in terms of numbers. As a forward scout, the Guards Cavalry does not wear heavy melee armor, and is not even prepared for heavier standing armor. If it is attacked by The siege of such a large number of horse archers would immediately result in a nest of bloody gourds.

"Captain, what should we do now? Someone asked in a low voice

"What can we do? Let's wait and see!"

Stanres had no choice. Fortunately, the cave in the upper part of the canyon was big and deep enough, and there was a skylight above it. There was still a lot of space for hundreds of war horses to be placed inside. As long as the people below didn't deliberately go there, If you search online, you will not notice that Stan Reis is an extremely experienced old scout who has participated in many battles. At this time, he found that he was temporarily helpless. Instead, he calmed down. In two days, what would happen if the enemy cavalry below did not retreat? He looked to the far north, where there were still dark clouds accumulating. On the distant mountains, lightning occasionally flashed through the dark clouds. No one knew what fate was waiting for everyone under the dark clouds.

"Captain, look!"

Just then. A guard who was responsible for watching suddenly shouted. Stanres quickly walked over and looked in the direction of his finger. He saw a team of well-dressed cavalry slowly entering the canyon from a distance. These cavalry and the cavalry below Different, these cavalry are equipped with heavy armor, not fast, but very intimidating, walking at the front. He is a silent young general. Wearing a bright red cloak, he was flanked by flag officers holding a vertical flag. One side of the flag was a golden wolf head, and the other was a short silver spear. And on the saddle of the young general, there was an surprisingly large bow bag hanging on the side. The whole set of five silver-like short spears looks particularly dazzling against the white snow.

"It should be the opponent's general!" Stanreth said hesitantly, his eyes paused on the silver short spear flag. He doesn't know why, but he always feels that this silver short spear heraldry is of great significance, if he is well aware of the style of the Barrow aristocracy in Central Europe. You will find that on the metal top of this silver short spear heraldic flag is a flag in the shape of a crown jewel. It is the royal flag. Even Stanis would not have thought that he would see the royal flag that is rarely seen in rumors.

As an army scout, you need to remember the enemy's flag. The golden wolf head indicates that the cavalry below is a Hungarian archer. It is no wonder that the opponent has such a large cavalry group. Edgar counterattacked and captured 80,000 coalition prisoners. What? After asking about the situation, the Hungarians are an alien ethnic group from Central Europe. They were originally from China. A powerful tribe on the grassland in the north of Biya, with a population of more than 1.5 million at its peak, famous for its horse archers. Due to the rise of another tribe on the grassland and the defeat in the battle with the Central Biya Empire, 170 Many years ago, the Hungarian people, with a population of less than 700,000, were forced to move westward filled with blood and tears.

Although the Hungarians were at a disadvantage in the battle for the northern grasslands and eventually had to migrate, which was tantamount to self-exile.

However, in Barro, Central Europe, the powerful Hungarian cavalry fought a sea of ​​blood in the Barro region of Central Europe. They eventually wiped out several countries in Barro, Central Europe, grabbed a large piece of territory, and successfully established a country in the middle section. It has shocked Central European Barrow for hundreds of years. It is obvious that more than a hundred years have not completely erased the nature of this nomadic people, which still exists at this moment.

Although they no longer have the majestic power of their ancestors on horseback, the Hungarian cavalry archers are still very famous in Central Europe. Their horses are like wind and lightning, and their arrows are flying. There is no problem in hitting the fifty-meter target seven or eight times out of ten times. Yes, for a country whose main combat power is infantry, the Hungarian horse archers are a nightmare, but war horses are expensive and difficult to maintain. The Huns originally brought a lot of war horses, and later they used steppe horses to breed Istan giant horses, which finally solved part of the problem. The training of cavalry was not easy, and the nobles usually raised their own funds. It was somewhat similar to the tribal organization of the steppe people. At the same time, in order to compensate Due to the lack of cavalry combat power, Hungary adopted a military system of using the main cavalry force plus servants.

The so-called servant soldiers are slave soldiers who are responsible for assisting and coordinating infantry during combat. This grassland nation still continues an extremely harsh slavery system. As the high-level nobles of the tribe, they have absolute power of life and death over the slaves. This time they have always upheld the expansion of force. The Kingdom of Hungary is also one of the main combat forces of the coalition.

Led by Hungarian King Baijieros personally, with 11,000 archers and cavalry and 20,000 servants, they formed the largest high-mobility army in the coalition's rear line combat power! Stanres did not expect that he would be so lucky that he would run into a group of Hungarian cavalry, and the other party would even look for him.

"It seems that it will be difficult to wait for other teams to join together. We must find opportunities to break out!"

Stanreth's voice paused, and his face looked a little ugly. "The opponent's number is ten times that of his own, and most of them are extremely fast horse archers. Breaking through is no different than seeking death! Unless,,,,,, Stanreth's voice He paused, his expression a little distorted. In fact, even he himself was also affected by this idea. Startled, he thought of the young general. If they could kill him in a surprise attack, the Hungarians would be in chaos. If they got the cooperation of other teams, they might not be able to win a small-scale victory. "Two days later , we will rush out and kill the general, and then everyone will break out with all our strength! Stanleth said through gritted teeth. The other guards all heard the intention of a decisive fight.

"If you can really kill the opponent's general, it will be considered good enough. Unfortunately, you just don't know what the silver-white short spear represents!" An older guard showed a ferocious look and showed his white teeth. "Whatever, you can have it." How come the man with the military flag and clan emblem is also an extremely high-level figure!
